When Chen Fan arrived in Anshan City, the atmosphere in the air was noticeably different.

In the past, there were always many people around, and even some roadside stalls.

Now, these people were notably absent.

Even if there were pedestrians, they walked with their heads down, hurriedly, as if walking slowly would bring great disasters upon them.

"Brother Chen!"

At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out from the right front.

A man who appeared to be in his thirties quickly approached.

"Who are you?"

Chen Fan looked at the man in front of him with confusion.

"The chairman asked me to wait for you here."

The man said respectfully, "Something big happened in the city. The chairman was worried about disturbing you with a phone call, so he sent you several messages, but didn’t get any replies. He then asked me to wait here and, if I saw you, to tell you not to wander off and go directly back to the base."

"Got it."

Chen Fan nodded, having a vague guess, but still asked, "What’s the big news?"

The man looked around cautiously and said in a lowered voice, "The market is in trouble. I heard a Meridian Refining Realm expert with a saber broke in, killed several Transforming Force martial artists, and even kidnapped the manager Lu Yang."

"What?"

Chen Fan widened his eyes and feigned surprise.

"Yes!"

The man nodded heavily, "The City Lord’s Mansion stands behind the market. It’s said that someone has already notified the City Lord. I fear this is the calm before the storm."

He sighed lightly before urging, "Brother Chen, we should hurry back."

"Yes, you go back to the base first. I have some fierce beast materials to deliver to Brother Lin." Chen Fan smiled slightly.

"Alright, take care."

The man breathed a sigh of relief and turned towards the city gate.

"Quick action,"

Chen Fan thought to himself.

But he had anticipated this scenario when he took action.

After the man entered the city, Chen Fan went in.

His gaze first swept over the Martial Arts Association and then slowly moved upward, landing on the highest villa cluster.

That was where the C-level Awakeners lived, his destination.

Before going there, he had something to do.

He found a deserted corner, and accompanied by the sound of crunching noises,

the burly man who had previously stormed the market, holding a saber, slowly emerged from the shadows.

In the city, publicly killing C-level Awakeners, if such a thing spread, even the Martial Arts Association would have difficulty protecting him.

Even if they could, the favor would not be small, and he might have to refine pills for the Association later.

Since that’s the case, it’s better to eliminate this hidden threat from the beginning.

Don’t even think of using bows or the Soul-Annihilating Finger, which could easily give away his identity from clues.

Fortunately, besides mastering bows and spirit secret techniques, he was also proficient in martial arts and a saber technique.

Even if he killed those C-level Awakeners in broad daylight,

he could turn around and disappear without a trace,

without worrying that someone would find him for revenge.

Chen Fan took a deep breath and activated Celestial Response.

The vast spiritual power instantly enveloped the entire Anshan City.

Tens of thousands of breaths were clearly perceived.

Most of the auras were very weak.

Clearly, they were ordinary people.

More than ten thousand auras were slightly stronger, likely Body Tempering and Muscle Refining Realm martial artists, also possibly including some Awakeners.

Several dozen auras were extremely strong.

A few felt very familiar to him, belonging to Sun Wei and Tu Yue.

More than twenty were stronger than them.

Especially the five auras at the mountain top.

If Sun Wei and the others were like fireflies in the night,

those five auras were like candles in the night, difficult not to notice.

"It seems Anshan City has gained another C-level Awakener in the past two years."

Chen Fan looked towards the highest villa.

His brows slightly furrowed.

One aura there was quite strong, but several surrounding it were extremely weak.

He looked in another direction,

where there was also a strong aura,

though it differed from the former,

seeming to be isolated.

There,

he looked towards a third villa,

where the auras were the most numerous, over thirty,

mostly Entry Force level,

plus four other auras,

one very strong,

two moderately weaker,

and the last one even weaker.

In the place with these four auras, there was also another aura.

This aura was very weak, even weaker than those of the ordinary people in the city, giving the impression of a candle in the wind, flickering and unsteady.

Chen Fan retracted his spiritual power, his gaze fixed on the third villa.

If he was correct, the extremely weak aura belongs to Meng Xue.

The reason was simple. He had killed the people at the market, and the news was reported to those C-level Awakeners.

Their first reaction would be to find Meng Xue to ask for the culprit’s whereabouts.

Hence, there were many strong auras in one villa.

The surrounding thirty-plus guards also confirmed this from another perspective. Other villas did not have as many guards.

"It seems my previous actions indeed brought trouble to Meng Xue. Hopefully, I’m not too late."

After speaking, Chen Fan’s figure flashed like a lightning bolt towards his destination.

On the road leading to the mountain top,

dozens of armed guards watched below,

when suddenly a violent wind blew through,

"Where did this strange wind come from?"

Someone adjusted his hat and muttered.

"Yes, quite strange."
